Why are hyperlinks slow?

[Guest]

My hyperlinks are slow when created in page 2003 but are normal (?) when
createdin word. Is there a way to make all hyperlinks as fast or smooth as
possible?

What do you mean by a hyperlink being slow?

The very question I wanted to ask... do you mean when you are creating
them? or when you click on them on the live site?

Hyperlinks to what?

Linking to other sites? linking to other pages in your site? pages/files on your
computer?

If you mean a delay while the linked page loads - well this is the Internet for
you. Things travel over phone lines you know unless you're lucky and have
broadband, cable, dsl etc.

The "normal" link probably is the result of you linking to other files on your
own computer, hence it would *seem* quicker.

Can you elaborate a little - how slow are the slow links and how fast are the
normal links i.e. number of seconds to wait eg 30 seconds, 5 minutes 2
minutes --- whatever.

Please post the Url to your site.
